[citation][nom]blazorthon[/nom]Do you all see this? This is our problem as a species. When we see a problem, we often take different sides of the same coin. You both see a problem and argue about solving it. If we didn't always argue about it, then we might have a chance of solving it. It doesn't matter what the methods that you two see as separate parties, look at the problem from each other's perspective and find a solution that fits both perspectives.[/citation]

This idea is contrary to human nature. Compromise is an alternative, not a solution. Real revolution cannot happen without violence and the threat of change.

All that this proves is that we need to rise above human nature rather than let our more basic instincts and natures control us if we want anything to change. Violent revolutions just lead to inevitable failure even if it takes a few hundred years after the revolution to be noticed and then we need another revolution in the future. Why not break the cycle?

The point you're missing is that is not going to happen. What you're suggesting is pie in the sky, unfortunately. We have to deal with reality and human nature.

That's not dealing wit hit, that's accepting it. I'm not missing any point. It's not going to happen because people accept that it's not going to happen. If people didn't accept that already, then they could be more determined to actually do something about this. It is human nature, so humans can change it.

I hear ya man and i agree that it would be nice if we could rise above our pettiness. Problem is, it hasn't happened in 5000 years and i don't see it happening anytime soon. Sometimes you just have to align your expectations with reality while hoping for the best.

Hope springs eternal. Human nature however, doesn't give a damn.

I never said that it will happen. Whether or not it will be done doesn't change whether or not it it should be done.

[citation][nom]belardo[/nom]"Here is their sub-company😀omainsByProxy.com14747 N Northsight Blvd Suite 111, PMB 309Scottsdale, Arizona 85260Domains by proxy *IS OWNED* by GoDaddy. They are lying sacks of shit.DO NOT EVER EVER DO BUSINESS WITH GODADDY!They maybe the very worst company to do business with![/citation]
While Domains By Proxy is owned by GoDaddy, it does not mean the domain is registered to GoDaddy. Should a domain register choose to purchase private registration (usually free when registering 6 or more domains at once), then Whois will show Domains By Proxy. All registrars offer some type of private registration service. All domain registrations require a "listing" as to who the owner is, many people don't want their name, address, phone number and email published for the whole world to see, choose to register the domain privately. Domains By Proxy service maintains the private registration and can be set to forward email to an email address of their choosing (thus not disclosing their email address). The domain registration information on private domains can only be released by court order.

[citation][nom]malice81[/nom]I'm beginning to really not like these guys, and I was honestly cheering for them before. When they're going up against big corporations and purportedly fighting for the little guy, I can dig it. But releasing civilian user information, and then taking down millions of websites that had no connection to any cause they're fighting is getting out of hand. I personally know 2 small business owners that lost money because of yesterday's outage. Pointing out security flaws in online businesses is a possible noble act, which can be done with flair and spectacle that does not involve shaming anyone but the company. At this point, if they are fighting a war they're doing it with no regard for, or sending a message through civilian casualties. Guess what guys? That changes you from vigilante status, to what looks a whole lot like terrorism.[/citation]

Sites should switch to a different host then. Buy buying godaddy they're automatically supporting SOPA. There are plenty of other hosting sites cheaper or equally priced to go daddy that don't support insane freedom removing bills.

[citation][nom]sun-devil99[/nom]While Domains By Proxy is owned by GoDaddy, it does not mean the domain is registered to GoDaddy. Should a domain register choose to purchase private registration (usually free when registering 6 or more domains at once)[/citation] I understand that - which is part of that service. The proxy site (DBP) is designed also as a scam service for godaddy.

LOOK IT UP... people who are on godaddy who lose their domains to DBP. My client whose domain was STOLEN by GoDaddy/DBP had setup a .net domain. Reason, another domain-registrar is somewhat stupid can cannot properly give control of his .com address. This is my clients fault somewhat as the log-in email account is 10 years ago and it became invalid and he lot his password. (GTE became Verizon). But we tried talking to them (email) saying, they can confirm our location and address as the website is up, the address and phone numbers match, etc.

So, after spending so much time trying to get this sorted out, it was decided to let the domain expire. His family name is simple but obscure. I didn't know he was already using godaddy for a .net he purchased.

Then, almost instantly - before he could snap up his own domain, which he had owned for almost 10 years - DBP grabs it.... First, they offered $2000+ for the domain (on the page). But today, its $8800. There is no other name in his business type in the whole USA. Its not worth thousands.

Godaddy is directly connected to DBP. If you google complains about people getting their domains stolen by Godaddy and DBP, its not an isolated thing. This is personal experience. And I knew the danger that my client didn't... who had done something without asking me. But had listened to one of his employees who is a "tech" - not really. One of THOSE types... knows enough to cause problems.

Even I lost one of my domains 7 years ago - busy with a family matter. A porn company took it... But I would check on it (not on godaddy of course) - then it expired and I got it back.

But Godaddy... any domain you type into its WHOIS or check to see if a domain is available to buy is put into its database to snag. Its quite easy for them to do this... and they do it ALL THE TIME.

GODADDY is evil... and I flip them off when their ADs come on TV. Fuck godaddy and their slut-race car driver (She doesn't want to be objectified as a sex object... meanwhile, she bursts open her shirts on the ADs, go figure)

When buying a domain, be ready to BUY it right there and then. Already be logged into the account, do NOT do a search casually.

Go with a reputable company (networksolutions.com is good, not great) - GoDaddy is one of the most expensive ones. I pay $7 a year for mine . A better company will have a secure (padlock) connection for domain registration searches. Confirm it yourself.

Godaddy and even NetworkSolutions do not do a secure connection. NS does once you are logged-in.
Joker.com = even if you are not logged in, has a secure connection.
